Currently you can't do this for Congress due to the Uniform Congressional District Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Congressional_District_Act)

But it had been used in the past and some states do it at the state level. I have seen people propose multi member districts as a reform, so you are not alone in that thinking. Personally I would lean toward expanding the House as a higher priority (at least double or triple the current size). I would prefer compact districts over statewide districts with multiple members.
